John 6:49-57

⁴⁹Your forefathers ate manna in the desert but they still died.

⁵⁰But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, and anyone who eats it won't ever die.

⁵¹I am the life-giving bread from heaven, and anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The bread is my flesh that I give so that the world may live.”

⁵²Then the Jews argued heatedly among themselves. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.

⁵³Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you cannot truly live.

⁵⁴Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

⁵⁵For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

⁵⁶Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me, and I remain in them.

⁵⁷Just as the life-giving Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.
